Michigan Law School grads walk out due to anti-gay marriage Senator commencement speaker

http://www.coffeehousetalks.com/2011/05/for-next-generation-of-lawyers-lgbt.htmlThe demonstration itself was amazing. At I looked at my classmates stand, all I could see was a rising wall of black robes. Dean Caminker paused in his introduction from pure shock that it could possibly be this many people walking out. No one hooted, no one hollered, no one jeered, we just silently and powerfully declared that we are not going to remain there for this man's honor. I nearly cried when a couple people in the audience started to applaud before catching themselves. One of my friends told me she had never felt so obviously supported in her life. Outside, it was clear this was a celebration of our LGBT friends, family, classmates, and loved ones. Check out the attitude in the room in this video (in which I am also interviewed - note that the "he" giving the introduction refers to Caminker):

This is great !!! There's a lot of good lawyers going out into the working world to practice law !! Good for you guys !!! How many was in the graduating class alltogether? Was it about a third who walked out ?

Well first congratulations on graduating, that's great in itself but also to have you make such a bold statement about what is acceptable in today's society is fantastic! Nice job, well done, and most importantly you peacefully left an undeniable message to the rest of the folks in that room. Nice job!
